Saturday, May 9 Community Clean Up Day
Another Great Community Clean Up Day for North Bay!
There were lots of helpers and lots of garbage this year at the clean up area around Northgate Shopping Center. Almost 50 bags of garbage were picked up at this area alone with almost 100 bags being picked up around town. Thanks to Tim Horton's for sponsoring a great community clean up day with gloves and t-shirts for volunteers and especially for organizing a plastic water bottle free eveny this year. By using water coolers, paper cups and reminding everyone to bring re-fillable water bottles, volunteers were able to avoid adding to the litter and recycling collection efforst they made. Special thanks to St Bryce's Creation Keepers and Big Brothers Big Sisters for helping out with this years clean up. Great job everyone!
All kinds of junk.
Bike frames, broken chairs, a discarded mattress and an abandoned shopping cart were all part of the days stash of almost 100 bags around town.
Workin' hard.
Thanks to all the kid's and parents who combed the mud and grass towards cleaning up one of the highest litter accumulation areas in town.
Thank You Tim Horton's! Saturday May 9, 2009
Thank you to Tim Horton's for sponsoring Community Clean Up Day not only in North Bay but all over Ontario and all across Canada. With t-shirts, gloves and re-fillable coffee mugs to be shared amongst the volunteers Tim Horton's does a great job of encouraging everyone to get out and pitch in for our community Spring cleaning.
